Stellenbeschreibung
Organizational Unit United Nations Satellite Centre Expertise

The United Nations Satellite Centre, UNITAR, delivers geospatial analysis and satellite-derived products to support humanitarian response, disaster risk reduction, human rights monitoring, and sustainable development. The United Nations Satellite Centre operates across emergency, conflict, and development contexts, producing geospatial data, analytical outputs, and web-based services, while contributing to applied research and capacity development through training and knowledge transfer.

This roster is established for Individual Contractors (non-regular staff) to support remote geospatial analysis, data production, and applied analytical workflows contributing to United Nations Satellite Centre operations.

Roster members will operate in home-based settings, contributing to distributed analytical workflows and collaborating with globally dispersed teams through digital platforms. They will support the production of high-quality, timely, and operationally relevant geospatial outputs across humanitarian, development, and complex analytical contexts.

Key areas of expertise and functions include:

  • Conducting satellite imagery analysis using visual interpretation, remote sensing techniques, GIS-based methodologies, and AI-supported approaches where relevant
  • Supporting the identification, acquisition, and processing of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets within remote workflows
  • Producing cartographic outputs, geospatial datasets, web mapping services, and analytical reports in accordance with United Nations Satellite Centre standards
  • Contributing to technical analyses such as damage assessments, change detection, land use and infrastructure mapping, and humanitarian or conflict-related analysis
  • Participating in remote and distributed analytical workflows, including data processing pipelines and production processes
  • Contributing to the development and improvement of analytical methodologies, workflows, and tools, including automation and GeoAI approaches
  • Supporting the testing and application of analytical tools, systems, and technologies
  • Contributing to the documentation of workflows, analytical methods, and technical processes
  • Ensuring outputs meet quality standards, consistency requirements, and delivery timelines, including performing quality checks and integrating QA/QC feedback
  • Collaborating with United Nations Satellite Centre personnel through digital platforms and remote coordination mechanisms
  • Contributing to technical reports, analytical documentation, presentations, and knowledge products
  • Supporting training and capacity development activities through preparation of datasets, technical examples, and applied exercises
  • Contributing to the development of training materials and applied learning content aligned with operational workflows

Expected outputs may include geospatial analysis products, maps, datasets, web-based services, analytical reports, contributions to workflows and methodologies, inputs to technical documentation, and support to knowledge products and training materials.

Assignments are conducted remotely (home-based), requiring coordination through digital collaboration platforms and engagement with United Nations Satellite Centre teams. Engagements are delivered under Individual Contractor modalities, with no supervisory responsibilities.

Experience

3–5 years of experience in geospatial analysis, including:

  • Satellite imagery interpretation and GIS workflows
  • Production of maps, datasets, and analytical outputs
  • Data acquisition, processing, and analysis
  • Experience in humanitarian or operational contexts is an asset
Education level

University degree in GIS, remote sensing, geography, or related field.

Language skill

Fluency in English required; additional UN languages an asset.
